I have (thankfully) passed Assignment two.
I have received my written feedback from my tutor, in an annotated version of my assignment (here) and a feedback form (here).
I felt that I struggled with this assignment. I had difficulty coming across an explanation (that I could understand) for Modern VS Modernist VS Modernism etc. However, I tried my best and did as much research on the terminology as I could. My tutor has suggested a book of key terms called “Keywords” by Raymond Williams, which I am going to try to source if I can. I hope it will help to clarify things a little for me.
There were two errors pointed out to me by my tutor which I was surprised to see, only to find out that they were IT errors on my part; One was referencing the wrong name in-text. The author is Enright, R., which I correctly entered in my Bibliography, but in-text I referenced “Robert, E.”. This has brought my attention to my inability to correctly proofread my own work. I might try to ask my family to proofread after I have written in the future. My tutor pointed out that I had re-stated the same point twice in my assignment, which again points to proofreading. I hope to resolve this in time for my next assignment.
The second error was related to my Blog, where my Category posts were not showing under my Category tab on my blog, and therefore it looked like my Research & Reflection category was empty, when it in fact was not. This has been resolved, after contacting WordPress for help.
I will be speaking with my tutor next week for verbal feedback, and I hope to clarify whether or not I should re-write Assignment Two based on the feedback. I am hoping to pass External Assessment at the end of the year, but I am feeling quite anxious about it at the moment.
